On July 4th, 2006, I embarked on a quest to become the pre-eminent American portrait painter of the 21st century. This blog chronicles that journey. With apologies to Joan Didion, I call it THE YEAR OF MAGICAL PAINTING.

"The Annotated Palin"

This, as the title implies, is "The Annotated Palin."

Not too bad, although the jury is out regarding large markers vs. small. The big, color type--for lack of a better word--seems well suited for this particular painting. Will it work with what I hope will be more serious images of B.O. and John Boy? I'm thinking about it.
